ARL WEILMAN'S feat of winning two games from the Tigers in three | days last week confirms a belief we long have harbored. This {s that the St. Loufs southpaw has something on our club, just as other pitchers have been able to hypnotize some particular opponent almost every time they have worked, | I do not wish to take anything away from Well-' man, who {s a mighty good slabman, but at the same time I cannot see where he has a license to whip the Tigers nearly every time out, like he has been doing almost ever since he has been in the league.
